ok, so you used the auto encrypt on arch : CafeDread | Torhoo darknet markets

I second this. Helped me learn a bit, and understand a lot better than the youtube vids I watched on PGP.

Past sins really depend on what tier of "criminal" you are, what "substance" or "items" you "traded" or "sold" in, as well as for "how long" you did so. There are other things as well they'll take into consideration but these are the ones that will likely mean the most. Authorities will take all of these things into consideration and will categorize you based on these and other attributes and save you as a variable with a value. The value is always on a spectrum.

EXAMPLE: NOTE: These are just examples to give you an idea of how much you should worry but I am also NO professional law enforcement officer or lawyer or agent of either the law or court system. I am simply here to offer you the best advice or info I can according to the information you give me and based off off of what we have seen in the past as far as what LEO and the FEDS have typically done for things similar in nature to what you have done.

First off, before you go down the route of freaking out 24/7 we need to know, at least partially, your "variable value". The simplest way to at least get an idea of where you are on the spectrum this is by answering the following questions. Which of the following fit your past deeds (the deeds causing the worries) more adequately.

ANOTHER NOTE: These are PAST sins we are talking about. If you stopped when the market or vendor went down that is much different than if they think your still active or know you are or know your other market identities. Also THE FOLLOWING LIST is JUST an EXAMPLE to help me guide you and give you better information.

• 1.) You're a college kid buying 100 Ambien (zolpidem) sleeping pills each month and you say as much in your correspondences with the compromised vendor or compromised market.
• 1a.) Same as above but you buy 100 to 200 bars a month for personal anxiety.
• 2.) You're a hard working student who needs multiple monthly purchases of Adderall to stay 100%.. Maybe your correspondences with any compromised vendors/markets that LEO has access to will also indicate this. you'll be classified, hopefully, as a user not a dealer. NOTE: Users will have less priority and a lower variable value and be lower on the variable spectrum than dealers but still not in the clear. (I hope you are still following along.)
• 3.) You are trying to make some extra cash selling weed, mushrooms, and other somewhat or mostly decriminalized items. This will depend on the size you purchase and how often.
• 4.) You buy a k-pack, 1,000 bars, once or twice a month for resale resale.
• 5.) You want to make money so you started buying and selling drugs like MDMA, LSD, KET,, and other Schedule 1 drugs and at an elevated rate. You are selling a few ounces of each per month. Not a casual 10 strip buyer and user.
• 6.) Your selling Counterfeit Roxy 30's, METH, COC, FENT (Any FENT for resale even low amounts is gonna put you higher up on anyone's list)
• 7.) Identity Theft of any kind will automatically put you in a category of priority but there are a lot of variables to consider. There are still lots of other bigger fish but they may save you for a rainy day.
• 8.) You sale buy counterfeit currency like counterfeit $100 USD bills. If your not the one printing them your less a threat but the FEDS don't take that shit lightly.
• 9.) Lastly if your buying $2,000-$5,000 a month of anything meant for resale your going to be at the top of the list.
• 10.) There are plenty of other items that could be on this list but this is already a long post. It is designed to get a point across.

Exactly what the value of your variable is will depend on all of the above plus other obvious and not so obvious things you may have done or said within those correspondences. This is where the challenge is for LEO/FEDS

Challenges for Law Enforcement:

• 1.) Anonymity and Encryption: The dark web and cryptocurrencies can make it difficult to identify and track individuals.
• 2.) Jurisdictional Issues: Investigating online drug trafficking can be complex due to the cross-border nature of the activity.
• 3.) Evolving Technology: The rapid evolution of online technology requires law enforcement to stay updated with new methods used by criminals.
• 4.) Volume of Activity: The vast amount of drug trafficking on the dark web can be overwhelming for even the most well-resourced agencies.

In summary, law enforcement agencies use a combination of traditional and technological strategies to investigate online drug purchases, but they face challenges related to anonymity, encryption, and jurisdictional issues. Assuming you used any of these.

TL:DR: It REALLY depends on "how much" of "what were you buying" and what your "intent" was with the items you bought. Your open correspondences that were not encrypted will be used to place you at a particular level of priority. Given the amount of traffic Archetyp saw and all the very very large fish, I doubt you got much to worry about unless you are a big fish who talked to much and didn't encrypt anything. The past is the past. However your past Illegal Activity, Statute of Limitations, any current Federal Investigation, Evidence Discovery, and if you made Admissions of Guilt will also ultimately be at play.

Care to elaborate on where you think you fall within the spectrum and what your variable value might be?

yep lol. thats how I learned that auto-encrypt is a huge fucking nono

Kinda funny this comment was also pending. Approved now but the other post above yours was approved first so no one saw your 'Pending mod' comment before seeing the other comment.

okay...

this is how you link in dread

Depending on when your very first order was, you should be fine. If it was like a year or more ago, it's unlikely the records still exist and you'll be okay. I'd be more wary if it was within the last couple of months because no one knows the level of access agencies had leading up to the seizure. Plus if you're simply a regular buyer, while there's still a minuscule chance of being caught, it's highly unlikely considering their main targets are market owners, vendors, and bulk buyers.

I even had a slip up when I placed my first order on Archetyp over a year ago and didn't manually encrypt and I was fine. I still at least PGP'd my comms in that situation, and moving forward manually encrypted my address. Haven't had any issues at all from that and have had packs land consistently.

This. If you did encryption yourself there's a strong probability your drop is perfectly safe. I'd understand vendors and bulk buyers taking extra precautions though.

Vendors use tor and have proper opsec in place :)

Best of luck!
